Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March-5, 1907.

Application filed May 2,1906. Serial No. 314,849.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES PETRIE, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of St. Johns, Newfoundland, have invented a new and Improved Hawse-Pipe, of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description.

My invention relates to a hawse-pipe for boats, the principal objects being to provide means whereby the cable will be absolutely protected fromcoming into contact with any sharp edges and to provide rollers for reducing friction and assisting in the above-named objects with means whereby if the spindles are broken or displaced they will still remain in position and perform their services in a similar manner to that in which they operate normally.

Further objects and features of the invention will appear below.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a boat, showing a hawse-pipe thereon constructed in accordance with my invention. tional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1 and on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a'front elevation of the hawse-pipe, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

The main part of the hawse-pipe 10 is of the usual construction. It is, however, provided with a depression 11 near the outer edge thereof, said depression being roughly of the shape of a roller 12, which is intended to be mounted therein. The roller projects slightly above the lower surface of the pipe,

so as to guard against the cable passing over the edge of the depression 11 and in contact with the same, and the depression is preferably substantially semicircular in cross-section and has an upwardly-extending lip 13 at its outer end, so that the depression forms a seat for receiving the roller. The roller is secured in position by an outwardly-extending lip 14 on one side of the hawse-pipe, through which passes a spindle 15, this spindle also passing through an inwardly-turned lip 16 on the other side of the hawse-pipe and having a screw-threaded portion 17, extending into the wall of the vessel. The head of the spindle 15 is preferably hexagonal in shape to re- Fig. 2 is a sec.

ceive a wrench, whereby the spindle may be firmly screwed into place.

By this construction the spindle can be withdrawn or inserted readily, and by the special shape of the depression 11 and the lip 18 it will be seen that if the spindle is accidentally broken or displaced the roller will still remain in position and prevent the cable from engaging the sharp edges of the hawsepipe. It will beseen also that the roller is in exactly the proper position for preventing undue wear of the cable. The other end of the hawse-pipe is provided with a removable collar 20, provided with a projecting lip 21 and an inwardly-turned lip 22, through which a spindle 23 passes for supporting a roller 24, similar to the roller 12 and located in alinement therewith. The collar being removable, it is not necessary to provide a screw-threaded spindle like the one used for the roller 12.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A hawse-pipe having a depression in its outer face, said depression having an upwardly-extending lip at the outer side thereof, a roller located in said depression and projecting above the lower surface of the pipe,

a collar on the opposite side of the hawsepipe from the roller, and a roller j ournaled in the collar.

2. A hawse-pipe having a depression in its outer face, sa (1 depression having an upwardly-extending lip at the outer side thereof, a roller located in said depression and projecting above the lower surface of the pipe, said depression being curved to correspond roughly with the outline of the roller and serving as a pocket to hold the roller in position, a collar on the opposite side of the hawse-pipe from the roller, and a naled in the collar.

3. A hawse-pipe having a depression in its outer face, an outwardly-extending lip on one side of said depression, a spindle having a screwthreaded end passing through said lip and through the opposite wall of the hawsepipe, a roller mounted on said spindle, a collar located on the opposite side of the hawsepipe from said roller and having a projecting lip, and a second roller journaled in said lip and in the opposite side of the collar.

4. A hawse-pipe having a depression in its roller jourouter face, an outwardly-extending lip on I below the lower inner surface of the hawseone side of said depression, a s indle havin a screw-threaded end passing tlirough said lip and through the opposite wall of the hawsepipe, a roller mounted on said spindle, a collar located on the opposite end of the hawseipe from said roller and having a projecting ip, and a second roller journaled in said lip and in the opposite side of the collar, both of IO said rollers being located with their centers I pipe but with their operating-surfaces projecting above said lower surfaces.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of r 5 two subscribing Witnesses.
